She said she was between 12 -15 yrs then. She is no more now. Every One of her generation will say episodes of atrocities by Razakars.
They spared women only if she can pee as far as men, that's their Legacy.
Her name was "Veeramma".
She said - When Razakars entered village everybody hid themselves in Cattle "Koshtams". They beat men till they pissed in their Dhothis. The raped women by Razakars remained like a Widow.
They took away around 10 sheeps from our koshtam, she heard her father whispering - Let them take, our women are spared.
Only one or two remain in my village (Rachur) even today who can narrate their "Ashleel Atrocities" & Lament proudly how they got over it.
Even Today many temples & their "Moola Viraats" (Chief Deities) lie desecrated by Razakars for wealth beneath them. Few villages like mine resecrated them with "Saptahams".
There is beautiful "Eka Shila" Bhairava Murti in my village which was stoned by Razakars whenever they passed by, later became custom because villagers believed he was responsible for all their mishaps. Even I stoned it in my childhood (Even today I regret).
Today the Bhairava stands as proof of their atrocities on Hindus, their festivals, their temples & Their women.

None of the Indian Architecture schools teaches "Temple Architecture". Since I am in touch with students, every body is obsessed with Fletcher's books. Its standard book to refer to.
If Indians don't study Indian temples, who else will?
if have humongous ancient literature on this subject like Manasara, Mayamatam, Silpaprakasa, Aparajitaprcha, Brihat Samhita, Samarangana Sutradhara, Agamas and much more.
but present architects neither understand our temples nor the literature.
There is a common belief that because temple construction now is not a regular activity, teaching that will not provide job opportunities.
so they are busy teaching everything except Indian.
He is famous with two names – Ugra Narasimha (Fierce) and Malola Narasimha (Beloved of Lakshmi).
वह दो नामों से प्रसिद्ध है - उग्र नरसिम्हा (भयंकर) और मालोला नरसिम्हा (लक्ष्मी के प्रिय)।
Built during the reign of Great King Sri Krishna Devaraya, it is 500 yrs old and was mutilated after the battle of Tallikota in 1565 while Vijayanagara was being ransacked & plundered by Deccan sultans.
The perfection in circle brought on granite is amazing. The Temple contains 2 such wheels which acts as Sun Dials. One is for morning and the one visible here is “Evening Sun Dial”
ग्रेनाइट पर लाए गए वृत्त पूर्णता अद्भुत है। मंदिर में 2 ऐसे पहिए हैं "राजागम्भिरा मंडप" के दोनों ओर जो सूर्य की रोशनी के रूप में कार्य करते हैं। एक सुबह के लिए है और एक यहाँ दिखाई दे रहा है "शाम के लिए"I
